It will suffice to stater that; etinticlOitie ill diriiirlisded interest now Nit itt a Eakie Oriee go engrossing, the attendance Was very tat:term, and the ensemble one of surpassing excitement. Although we missed the brilliant dssplay of equipages for which Doncaster was once 10 faMouv.ty there Itis a goodly show of fashions:hies, many of the Nobility hating quitted their shooting quarters in Scotland for the purpose of Seeing the St. Leger run for, while the country IttelfsUpplied a malt` proportion of the titled tOmpzny. The country folks, astir betimes, took the town by storni before ten in the morning, blocked up the streets till one, and lined the course, and filled all the minor stands till five, form ing no inconsid era bl e, f eature in the proceedings of ie day. The grand stand, as a matter of course, was crowded, so much So that hundreds were unable to obtain even a sight of the horses ; the same evil, however, which we have noticed here meeting after meeting, and which is so carefully guarded against at Goodwood, is still suffered to exist :—the betting men, for want of proper accommodation, were compelled to congregate for the purpose of business on the principal floor, and by the incessant and unavoidable crowding d and noise oc casioned great annoyance to the fair portion of the visitors ; in fact, we have heard that many ladies abstained from partici pating in the amusements of the afternoon for this and no o.her reason. Why not inclose a space sufficiently large to permit the ri ng to b e formed in front of the stand in like manner as it is at Goodwood, and will be at Ascot; there is plenty of room without encroaching on the privileges of the lower ranks; The ra^...es did hot eerlittenee until three o'clock, the St. Le . s: - se, for the drat time within our rocollection ) being the last :ace; it will he seen that the field Was remarkably Small—the smallest, indeed, that has started gitiee 1862, when seven went to the post, and OctaVian (the late Lord Vitawilliant's) won. The race itself produced a temporary eidittment, but, taking it as a betting event froiti the beginning, we may venture to pronounce it the least generally interesting ever known, the smallneeS of the field, its moderate character, and the interfe rence of other races favourable to speetilatort having given an apathy to the butineas transacted on it which is altogether without precedent. The subscription-book at the betting rooms, and " a few inquiries at the grand stand, enable us to make the following adalitleha to the list of arrivals given in our last :---Lord earborough, Lord Spencer.

The Hydra, by Sir Hercules (Chapple) ; and Mr. Thornhill's ch. c. Saintfoin, by St. Patrick (Condlly). The betting, from the time of our account of Monday's races was forwarded, up to the close, underwent several changes. Up to twelve o'clock that night lon and Don John were nearly head and head, the Newmarket horse having the call ; six or seven hundred pounds, however, laid out upon the Don just at the finish proved that the difference betwixt them was very slight. Lanercost, Al zira, an d S a i nt f o i n remained pretty steady in their places, but Cob ham declined two or three points. In the morning lon was still first favourite at 7 to 4, Don John standing at 2 to 1, Lanercost at 9to 2, with a strong party, and the others as before. After the first race Don John and lon changed positions, Cobham went back to 20, and " came again," and Saintfoin sprung several points. The last odds b e f ore starting were 7to 4 agst Don John, 9to 4 agst ~l on, 9to 2 agst Lanercost (taken), 9to 1 agst Saintfoin, 15 to 1 agst Cobham, 20 to 1 agst . Alzira, and 33 to 1 agst The Hydra. In the many years' experience we have had of the St. Lagers we have never seen it won in such an off-hand style, or with such decisive proofs of superiority. Precisely at a quarter before five the word was given, anti lon went away in front with Saintfoin at his heels; but before they had gone 100 yards Don John ran by them and took up the running with a lead of two or three lengths, lon lying next him, Lanercost third, Saintfoin fourth, Cobham fifth, Alzira sixth, and the Hydra last. With the first three the positions were unchanged to the finish, Don John continuing his lead at a good pace, and winning in the commones t can t er imag i na bl e b y f our or five lengths, Lanercost coming in a long way behind lon. A trifling movement took place amongst the others after passing the Red House, Cobham went nearer the front, and, without the slightest prospect of winning, looked as if he could beat Lanercost; unfortu nately, however, he broke down just below the distance. The Hydra gained ground every stride after turning the corner, and ran in fourth, Alzira and Saintfoin following him past the chair nearly abreast. Lord Chesterfield and his friends have won a good stake, but from the lowness of the odds were unable to make it a great 'one. From the small amount of the books made or. the race th e settling promises to be easy. The Two-year-old Produce Stakes of 100 soya. each, h. ft. ; colts, Bst. 51b ; and fillies, Bst. 31b.

Mr. Bowes's Epirus THE DONCASTER ST. LEGER.—The result of the St. Leger race was received by Mr. Wm. Wrighton, of the Fountain Tavern, New -street, Birmingham, on Tuesday evening, at five minutes past 13. The distance (94 miles) was ridden by Mr. John Bcndrey, his third year of bringing the account of the race to Birmingham, in six hours and nine minutes, having started from Doncaster at four minutes to five. The expenses of the express were paid by the members of the Club, held at Mr. Wrighton's house. The enterprise does both gentleman great credit. CRICKET The last grand match of the season was commenced on Monday, in the grounds of the " nonpareil" bowler, Lilly white, at Brighton, in the presence of a large concourse of spectators. The mach was between nine gentlemtn (in cluding Mr. Taylor, the best gentleman player in England) with Pilch and Clifford, of Kent, and clever!' Sussex players, and it was made with the view principally of testing the strength of the county so as to enable the Committee to select the best eleven for the ensuing season. The Sussex players took the first innings, and the interest chiefly excited was the introduction of two new players in the Sussex eleven, Ewins and Morris. On the side of the gentlemen, the bowling of Mr. Sayers and Mr. Strange was excellent, and it will be seen by the subjoined statement that the players did not make what is termed a good innings, and from the well-known skill of Pilch and Mr. Taylor, the betting was in favour of the gentlemen's side. The first innings terminated shortly be fore four o'clock on Monday, when the gentlemen went in. They bad lost six wickets (including Pilch and Clifford; when the stumps were struck, and had scored only 47. The second day's play (Tuesday) was not characterised by any thing remarkable; the principal feature was the excellent bowling of Mr. Sayers and Mr. Napper, and the day's play ended in the players getting 70 runs i n advance of the gentle. men. The gentlemen went into the runs yesterday ( Wed nesday) morning, and it is a remarkable fact that they lost five wickets, including Pilch, for only one run. Clifford then went in, and made some play, and Mr. Taylor and Mr. E. Napper nearly got all the runs by their excellent play. The game was over about half- past three o'clock, the gentlemen having won, with-three wickets to spare. in) N AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY. TILE SUN, _LONDi .. Trielt§ts . A_C 7 SVPtEMiltit 20, 1838.

It will be in the recollection cat Most ot our :411dcrs, Nit the Act of Parliament for this work was obtained in 1833; o Iwould admit. t . Ste phenson. after considerable opposition, occasioned solely by tlfs mode of ea projectedn b t l r them . travelling being then so little known and understo o d. Th e works were commenced in June, 1834, and proceed e d as expe ditinis sly he as h th: } e l i a t l t e r rni tine had diM ° b u t a ', t y d whose talents as an engineer are too well known to the public to require any further comment on them, The Di rectors haring had the greatest confidence in hitti, immediately placed this important work under his able g mana ement, and the result has fully tealiired their most sanguine expectations. A pottiOn Of the line, from London to Denbigh-hall, was opened in the autumn of 1837, and another po r tion, between Birmingham and Rugby (a distance of 21 miles), was opened in April last. The line between Rugby and Denbigh_ hail presented the greatest difficultiesof construction—we allude to the deep cutting called the" alisltorth cutting," which, though not the largest work of the description tin the linef has, from the character of the material, been by far the most expensive and sirdtious. The Tring cutting contains a greater cubic content, but this material being entirely chalk less difficulty was experienced in the execution than in the Blisworth, which consists chiefly of hard blue limestone, belonging to the oolitic series of rocks, and which yielded througho — ut all seasons large quantities of water, which it was necessary to drain, by pumping. The working of the rock in this cutting was rendered more diffi cult and tedious than it otherwise would have been by the strata of the rock being interstratified by these beds of blue shade, which being impervious to water, rendered every means of drawing off (eicept that of pumping) unavailable. The Blis worth eXeavation contains 1,200,000 cubic .yards, averaging 50 feet deep, for two miles in length. About 400,000 have been removed from each end to form adjoining embankments, which reach the height of 45 feet at the highest point. The remaining 400,000 have been raised up the steep side of the excavation, and deposited on the adjoining lands, forming what are termed sprit banks. The cost of this w or k has bean 200,0001., and is believed to be the largest excavation of the kind ever executede The kilsbyaltill was, if pesalbiti, ttiore. fermideble than the last-mentioned work, for while the proceeciingi virefe inlpeded by bad material and enormous quantities of water, the means fur overcoming , them were confined within the narrow limits of a tunnel. Shortly after :iliafo end preliminary works were organized, an extensive quicksand iias diCkidteied, which made it apparent that additional means, beyond tnoge already contemplated, were requisite. Extra shafts were sunk, and four powerful pumping engines were erected, which continued to pump from the quicksand for six months, with scarcely a day's intermission, at the rate of 1,800 gallons per minute. By these means the difficulty of tunnelling in the sand was reduced, but still the operation was one of extreme difficulty and danger. The tunnel is 2,400 yards in length, or nearly a mile and a half, 25 feet wide, 28 feet high, and is ventilated by two large shafts, each 60 feet in diameter, one 120 feet deep, the other 90 feet. The Means of tunnelling thus employed by Mr. Stephenson afforded greater facilities for ventilation going on more perfectly. They appear to have an swered their object most effectually, for in a few minutes after an engine and train has passed through, the vapour is carried up the shafts, and the tunnel rendered so clear t hat the other end may be distinctly seen. It has cost upwards of 300,0001.—about thr.,e times what it would have done bad the casualties and difficulties been of an ordinary character. The line of railway has eight tunnels, which are nearly of similar dimensions, and passed thr oug h w ith i m p un ity and without an noyance. The Wolverton viaduct is one of the most im portant bridges on the line. It is erected over the Ouse and Tow, near Stony Stratford. It consists of six semi-elliptical arches, each 60 feet span. The roadway is elevated 50 feet above the natural surface of the ground. It is (with the ex ception of the cornice and coping, which arc of stone) com posed entirely of brick. The aggregate amount of excava tion required on the London and Birmingham Railway is about 15,000,000 of cubic yards, being equal to an average of upwards of 120,000 cubic yards per mile. To form an idea of the rapidity of the execution of this work, we may divide the whole period—say four years—by the number of miles, and ee actually find that the average rate of progress has been one mile a fortnight since the first commencement of this undertaking. The entrance of the London terminus, Euston-square, is formed by a propyleum (used by the ancient Greeks as the chief entrance to their cities), consisting of four Greek Doric columns, 8 feet 6 inches in diameter, and 42 feet in height, two in front and two in the rear, with antee at the angles of the building, surmounted by a Doric entablature and pedi . . ment; funning., altogether, a height of 72 feet. On either side of the entrance are four lodges, serving as offices for the establishment. 'I he effect of the entrance is most striking, from its magnitude and simplicity of design. Mr. Philip Hardwick is the architect. The terminus at Birmingham resembles that of London, only possessing greater accommodations for the Directors and officers of the Company, as well as refreshment-rooms for per sons travelling by the Railway. Many parts of the works have not yet assumed the finished character of that portion of the Railway which has been hitherto in operation, and the rate of speed of the trains will he regulated accordingly. The time occupied by the Direc nrs in going down was, of course. less than will be required for the ordinary travelling., in consequence of their not having to stop at the stations ; but, allowing six hours for the extreme time of " mixed" trains, the change which will be effected in the travelling of th• whole of the north of Great Britain and Ireland cannot be estimated.— Times.

I?,t,c)Pgm EN T.—A few days ago the wife of a " jerry lord" in Manchester eloped with a rival in the trade, taking with her in money and goods about 100 L, the property of her liege lord and master, who immediately took post horses and set off for Liverpool, in order to ascertain the retreat of the runaways. Fancying he was on a wrong scent he was in duced to take the - mail to Lancaster, where he arrived on Tuesday night. After a little inquiry he found that a gentle man and lady answering to the description of his wife and the gaPant were sta;ing at a public-house in the town, to which he repaired early next morning.

TO THE PEOPLE OF IRELAND. LETTER 111. (FROM A PRIVATECORRESPONDENT. ) Darrynane Abbey, Sept. 17, 1838. " Hereditary bondsmen, know you not Who would be free, themselves must stripe the ',low?" Fellow Countrymen—The time for action i 4 come. The period of acquiescence is past. There are. inked, none to succour us, or to secure our rights. Per: ap3 thrre never were. But at all events the time is come sv':en we must either bow in base submission to Orange domination or muse ourselves into salutary exertion. Ireland once before—and only once since the Union— roused s...7lltaueously into action. She was for fie fir3t tirno successful. Tn. same success lies before us—if we adopt the same means. One thing is clear that, at the p;; sent, the man is an enemy to Ireland who suggests to the Irish peop:: apathy or acqui escence on the one hand—or any criminal ..;:urse on the other. We can be placed in a worse situation than .7 are— only by torpor or crime. We should make our enemies strong if we were torpid— we should give them double strength if we were criminal. AGITATION is our sole means of success—peaceable, legal, constitutional agitation. Patriotic men may differ as to the best mode of agitation ; bat that man is to my mind neither patriotic nor honest who advises u 3 to avoid agitation or to acquiesce under the present load of injustice and insult which Ireland endures. The gunner in which our agitation should be erntducted is a ques tion open to discussion, and which m a y create a diversity of opinion among "t men sincerely devoted to th e goo d of Ire land. For example !lie enlightened and liberal citizens of the city of Cork did not agiTe with me as to the postpone ment for another year of the direct agitation of the Repeal. They were for instantly casting away all expectation of relief from the British Parliament and for organising without delay the people of Ireland in their moral strength to call for the repeal of the statute which destroyed our domestic legisla titre. I succeeded, however, in convincing or influencing them to believe that the best way to achieve the Repeal was by bringing the strength of Ireland to bear upon the British Parliament, with demands so obviously just and rational, as to leave no doubt on the mind of any sensible and honest man in either country, that the refusal to accede to such reason able demands could be attributed only td a principle of bigoted hostility to Ireland and Irishmen—a principle so in:'eterate as tra have no hope for justice to our native country from whe British Parliament—nor from any source save from a domes- . tic legislature. In fact I produced in many that thorough conviction which is strongly impressed on my own min -f, that instead of postponing I „as and am advancing the Repeal by demon strating, that, after making the most strenuous and combined effort which Ireland can at present make to obtain an equali zation of rights and privileges with England, all prospect of redress from that quarter is vain and hopeless. After such demonstration nothing will be left for us save the Repeal. But to complete my plan, strenuous and universal exer tion is necessary—combined and concentrated exertion is necessary. The familiar—" long pull—strong pull—and pull altogether"—is necessary. My experiment cannot be com plete without an exhibition of a national will for equaliza tion of franchises and identification of rights between the two countries. - - In this struggle there ought to be a combination of effort betaken those who deem the British Parliament competent and willing to afford us justice without the necessity for Repeal— and those who deem it impossiLle to obtain justice for Ireland without the Repeal The anti- Repealers ought to join in our pesent effort in order to have the best possible chance of prov ing the value of the Union. The Repealers ought to join us in order to detwenstrate to England and to the world, that the Union is valueleSO, or rather in its nature productive of the contemptuous oppression of Ireland. Reyolers and anti- Repealera. rally then, with me, for one powerful and unanimous appeal—a powerful, because una nimous appeal—to the Parliament and people of Great Britain, to obtain, if it be possible, from them that justice which is the right of Ireland, and the withholding of which, from her, is as degrading and insulting as it is iniquitous. For what shall that appeal be made ? This is a subject on which we should understand each other. What for, arc we to appeal to the British Parliament ? My answer is, fcr the redress of great and unendurable grievances. Of grievances which cannot be redressed save by the Legislature. Again, I way, let us understand one another—l say this the rather, bceattsa in the selected grievances which I have stated in my two former letters, there were some, I mean those relative to party spirit, and the mal-administration of justiec, for which redress may be given—as ntuch redress has been already afforded—by the executive government. I there fore do not propose to include these in our simultaneous de mand for legislative relief. Indeed, if we obtain that relief, the completion of the other will follow of inevitable necessity. The points to which our demand for legislative relief should fot the present be confined, are these— Fifet----An equal reform of our Municipal Corporations with that existing in England. Second—An equal extension of the Parliamentary franchise with that existing in England. Third—An equal degree of religious liberty with that eiiibting in England—so that the Irish nation at large shall no longer be compelled, or called upon, to support the Church of a small minority of the Irish people. Fourth—A due and adequate proportion for Ireland of the representation in the United Parliament. Such are the four important Treasures which Ireland re vires in order to be upon an equality with Great Britain. To make the Union not merely nominal but real, these measures are absolutely and essentially necessary—without them it is an union of parchment, and not that which, to be lasting, it ought to be—an identification of the two countries. I will presently show that every person who considers any o r o,ese four measures necessary can join the present struggle, although he :"'ay' not consider the entire four requisite. It would assuredly be pi:,sing . strange that any Irishman should not see the propriety of seeking for them all. But m y pl an i s so modulated as to comprise persons who may seek for only one of them. Of this more presently. I place these four—First—Corporate Reform. second— Equal:z.ttion of Parliamentary Franchise. Third—Abolition in part of the 70 per cent. rent-charge, and a new appropria tion of the residue of that rent-charge, taking it away from the mere sustentation of a seat to bee applied to public pur poses; and—Fourth—the equalization of representation— ' place these four as the demands which Ireland makes. I know that an overwhelming majority of the Irish people con.; cur with me iii these demands. This question then arises : Flow are these demands to be enforced with the greatest possible prospect of suce.ess ? There have been three distinct plans suggested for this purpose. Let us discuss them dent), ntely. The nest. is—To embody our cause with that of the Rad'cals, and to sick with them for Univeretti Suffrage, Vote by Ballot, Annual Parliaments, no Property Qualifcation, and Payment of Members. We arc asked to abandon Irish objects, and embrace the Radicals a 3 our allies. I candidly conf, ss I am decidedly opposed to any such alli ance. I hope I may see the day when the Irish and English Reformers can cordially unite in the peaceful promotion of useful measures—but that trriod has n• t come—nor can it, in my mind, possibly arrive with the present body of English Radicals. I have, then, oljections to this plan. In the first place, the Irish are not as 3et on a level in point of political rights, with the English. Our first busi ness is to obtain a perfect equality with England. We may then treat upon an equal footing with English Reformers ; but until we are equal sac should appear to be seeking patron age from men to whom, in order to be well treated, we should offer only an increase of strength. For my part, Ido not think we either want or would be benefitted by the political pa tronage of the English Radicals. In the second place—the English Radicals are neither combined or concentrated They have no fixed plan of action. They have several occasional meetings, but no permanent bod,' to do their business publicly and skilfully. They meet in large masses one day, and the next they dis solve into individual weakness. If we were to enter into any a lli ance with them we should not know occasionally where to find our allies In the third place—They have n i skilful er well-tra'ncd leaders. Their leaders arc only for a day, and do not know how to carry on—or have not leisure to carry on corrinuous action. If they had a public, opn, and permanent associ tion to 'conduct their business, the men of political tact and skill would show themselves, and acquire that lead which be longs to practical utility. At present the speechmakers have it all during their hour—l do not disparage speechmaking_ but where it is the only oualification, it is worse than useless. I n the fourth place—The leaders who Pppear amongst thorn are men in who•n the Irish could rot place any confidence. ()ostler, a rank Tory, who very good-naturedly calls me " a villain," and most hbrrally calls the Irish Catholics by the gentle name of " idolaters." Oastler and his men we will have n thing to do with. Nor shall we ever combine with those who talk of arming, and of using physical force or shed ding human blood. For ever abhorred by us be such men and such ide s. Let me be supnoscd to include in this censure my friend Mr. Atssynod, of Birmingham. He ts, I know, both perfectly honest and truly sincere; but he is not to my mind a safe political guide. Re may be tight, yet I cannot go will: him always ; and whilst I rejoice to se,• him renewing his political exertions, I deem it quite supe:fluoui ti bind up the Irish c,.use with his. In the fifthPlace—There are many, very many of the most use"ul and valuable of our lii=h who do not by any means go the I,neth of the English Radicals. There are many opposed t) Unive sal Suffloue--tlitre are also many, rrnoagst whoml ant cite, opposed ti Annual Parliaments— t hcre are trotay. of whom I am one, oKosed to the Payment of the Members —there are many, of whom I also are one, ex ceedingly dissatisfied with the temper in which the English Radicals have conducted their own cause—and also with the manner in which they have managed that cause —injuring in stead of serving the question of peaceable Reform—disgusting their friend., and iner(asing end strengthening their enemies. I am therefore decidedly against any present union with them. In the sixth place—lt is in-,posstble for any one in Ireland to know how soon the English Radicals may involve them selves in illegal conduct. I never will consent that we should slay the cause of Ireland with any men over whose conduct we cannot watch to take care that it shall be consistent with law and not obnoxious to a just prosecution. Perhaps I have treated of any connection between the English Radicals and the people of Ireland with too muen minutene-s, and have appeased to give the proposal to join them kfinitelv more impoitanee than it deserves. I believe the En g li : h R a di cals to be neither strong nor numerous when ejmpa-cd to their opponents—l believe many of them are acting under the suggestions of the Tories—l believe that, upon the whole, 'by asking to much at once, and by the manner of the demand, and above ail, by tz.eir vit.uper.ti of every person who does not go the whole length with them, and by excit/nz the fears of men of property, they, fie Eng lish Radicals, do much more injury to the cause of rat'onal freedom than their can do good. And open these ground:/ I .übmit to the Irish people that the plan of any alliance titlr the English Radicals is utterly undesirable and should not be entert,ined even for the time cor,suiy.ed in reading this letter. I may, holrevcr, observe, that if the Radicals in England be as strong, as some of them would have us to believe, they vriil nrak•e a pen erful diversion in our favour, while on the i•th-r. hand our exerti , ns will er j ually benefit the cause of rAticnal liberty,in England. The second plan—To efA-ctuate our purpose comes from sources entitled to the highest re feet. it is proposed that the Irish people s' , ould continue to place their cause in the o9nds of the present Ministry—that they should patientlF abide the result of the good intentions of her 111- , jesty'x Ministers, and especially of the exertions of the Irish Govern ment And we have been told it was " unseemly" to alter our tone, and that we had gained much " respect" from the peop l e o f Irjsland 1,,r the forbearance and quietude of cur _ I dr, not disputts the sincerity of the advice this given us. I highly, and I may s :v grattfufly, respe c t t h e quarter f rom which it comes; hut witti.'ut failing in that respect, I altc gether dispute its policy. [We will give the eonclusion'-nr th7s important letter, to morrow.] THE RAILWAY. L OND ON—BRIGHTON—DIEPPE--PA RI S. (From the Brighton Gazette.) On Friday last the French Government steamer Le Papin arrived in our roads, having on board the Mayor of Dieppe and a party of French gentlemen (including one of the Direc tors) interested in the intended Railway communication be tween that place and Paris. The object of their voyage was to ascertain in what time the passage between Brighton and Dieppe could be performed. We understand that on this oc casion it occupied eight hours and twenty-three minutes, but that they were perfectly satisfied that it might be done in a much less time ; indeed, there is no doubt whatever —a s we are assured by those practically acquainted with these matters_ that it may be done in six hours. Assuming this calculation to be correct, the who'e distance between London and Paris may, when the line of Railway is complete on both sides of the Channel, be travelled in the almost incredibly short space of twelve hours—a prospect which is fraught with considerations whose importance cannot be estimated at too high a rate. As we said last week, a new era of prosperity is thus opened to the town, and indeed to the nation ; for England, and not Brighton alone, is interested in such a question as this. We have received, very opportunely, the subjoined letter from a friendly Correspondent, who lately left this place for Paris : TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRIGHTON GAZETTE. Paris, Sept. 11th, 1838. Dear Sir,—As you requested me to transmit to you the re sult of my inquiries respecting the railroad between Paris and Dieppe, I beg to . state to you, in as brief language as I can, the result of those inquiries. The object of my inquiry em braced two points-Ist, to a=certain how far the harbour of Dieppe was capable of improvement, and if so, what proba bility there was of the French Government undcrtakirg those improvements ;-2d, to procure the best information on the prospect nod progress of the railroad from Paris to Dieppe, having procured letters of introduction to Mons. Deslandes, Maire de Dieppe, to Mons. Leborgne, a Director of toe Rail way between Dieppe and Rouen, and to Mons Mermed, the Edi•or of the Vigie de Dieppe, a gentleman who took a pro. ro'nent interest in procuring the passing of the all through the Chamber of Deputies. On presenting my letters to ere above gentlemen, tney kir;dly gave me, after a ling interview, the fullest information; and in answer to my first question, they informed me the French Government were fully aware of the importance of Dieppe Harbour, having some time ago appointed a Commis sion composed of the first engineers of France, to survey that port and hilrbour—that during the late Session they made their report, which was so favourable that the Chamber. of Deputies, at the suggestion of the French Ministers, had granted a sum of two millions of francs to carry the report into execution ; the object being, by making some alteration at ti e mouth and inside the harbour, to prevent the accumul.tion of shingle, which at present obstructs the entrance, and by such works to render the ha , boor accessible at all times and periods (f the tide, and of sufficient depth to admit a seventy four gun ship ; which works are now in progress, as I ob served them when I entered the harbour. To my second question they stated that Mons. Agnuard, the Principal Director of both the P.iris and Rouen, and the Rouen and Dieppe Railways, was taking very active proceed ings to prosecute both vigorously, having completed the pur • chase of a considerable portion of the land necessary for the first-named railway, and had already entered into contracts for so much of the railway as reached from Paris to PonWise, a distance of twenty-four miles, which he expected to have opened for the public by next May, with every probability, be fore the close of next year, to have fifty miles completed and open, the works having on several already commenced. They were now also engaged in purchasing the land for the latter railway, and as soon as sufficient has been purchased, con tracts will be forthwith entered into. Nor do they anticipa'e any difficulty, either in completing the works, or in procaring the necessary funds. I cannot but acknowledge the kindness of the above gentle men, for the very full and unrestsrved information they gave 'me, and although I had no reason to doubt their inform= tion, the whole has been fully verified since my arrival in Paris; and I believe you will agree with me on the implurt ance of the above information to the town of Brighton, and will rejoice 1411% me in the benefit the town will derive the means of a regular and quick communication throughout tlitt 7.mi with Paris and the penthern parts of Prance and Italy. lam Orr, yaii will also coincide with me th'OFC who have the tthinrigernent of Shore ham 1-larkk._g• : niit terthijili take the necessttty measures to rem?er that harbour tiVan'tigeo'usi not only to the public, but to themselves, as there effiticii be a dou b t t h at with a frequent and CQPsPint c6mmunication betiteett the two ports, with the adv a ntages also of Paris and Dieppe and the London and Brighton Railways, and increasing trade for supplying' the London market with the . frui " , poultry, eggs, &c. of Normandy, which are now carrier, priticiwily to Ramsgate, and the perishable fruits of Spain and Portugal, would be c:Tried on through Shoreham liar. bour.—l beg to remain, dear Sir, Yours very truly, INVESTIGATOR.

The country through whinh the pass is very picturesque, and, owing to the great preponderance of embankment over-cutting, the traveller has a good panoramid view of it. One of the embankments is near five miles in length, prObably the longest on any line of railway. The party reached Winchgeld shortly after three o'clock, and were met there by a large assemblage of the neighbouring gentry and rustics. The presence of the fail' sex, a band of music, and a fine day, made the scene a very gay one. The Wittchfield station is an important one, being half way to Southampton, and coming dose upon the great south western road, about seven Miles ffom Basingstoke. Here the party stopped some time to inspect the works, which are all • but finished, dilti then proceeded to dinner of the Wellesley Arms, Murrell. green, where they were joined by Several of the landed gentlemen of the neighbourhood, who have ndarly ill been promoters of or well wishers to the undertaking. Amongst the company were Sir Lowry Cole, Mr. Shaw Lef,vre, M. P., Mr. Fyshe Palm , r, M. P., Mr. Bainbridge, Lord George Beauelere, Major Brown, Sir Claudius Hunter, 11r. Burtress, Rev. Wsgrs. Warren and Harriett, &c. &c. The Chairman of the Company, John Easthope, Esq., M. P., presided at a superb dinner, provided by Mr. Webb, and the good cheer provoked some after dinner oratory, wherein the speakers expressed themselves well pleased with the progress of the work, which will in a few days enable them to reach London in Art hour and a half, instead of four to five hours, the time now occupied by the coaches or in posting. The party broke up about eleven o'clock, and the Directors returned to town by railway on the following day.

H ere i s ev id enc d tif 1 .6 flexibility of modern habits of business, which do and will conform to fil4 o.lioltates of pru dence, economy, and common sense. When even hi aightly considered, what can become more clear than that Southamp ton, abounding in natural resources for shipping, and being nearly central between Edinburgh and Paris (a line drawn be tween which cities would rein through the heart of the two kingdoms), must be the most convenient rendezvous for the traveller, and be better calculated than any port that can be mentioned, for the collection and distribution of merchandize? The Diredtors of those Companies have, with the sagacity of good merchants, duly atipttftlateti the convenience and com fort to passengers afforded by the poSition end other attractions Hof Southampton ; and we cannot doubt that, in proportion as his arrangement becomes known throughout Europe, the tel. titles and convenience it affords will b:. acknowledged. The Iberia, belonging to the Peninsular Company, called at this port on Monday last, and the Trdneit, belonging to the Com mercial Company, will call on the 21st instant..—on the out ward passage.

COMMENCEMENT OP THE SOUTHAMPTON DOCK COM PANY'S WORKS.—The Chairman, Contractor, and Engineer of the Dock Company arrived in goitth - amtttort yesterday to make their final arrangements for the commentertient of the works, and we are happy to state they will be immediately commenced. The Contractor is Mr. Burge, who contracted for the execution of the St. Catharine's Docks, and from the known ability and spirit of that gentleman, we may augur the speedy formation of the first dock, Mid tetlSetplent realisation of those great benefits to the town, which the eSidtAiltiment of locks, especially when considered in connexion with the cam= pletion of the railway, must inevitably produce. THE RAILROAD. —The extension of the London and South mpton Railway to Hartley Row on Tuesday next is likely to afford considerable stimulus to all travelling to the west. We understand that the Herald coach between Exeter and London will render the railway available immediately on its being opened, and by so doing will save upwards of three hours on each journey. The trains on the railway will start from each termination four times a day, viz., down at 7f, 10, 3, and 54 o'clock; up, at 7, 101, 3, and 7 o'clock; completing the 3; miles in one hour and forty minutes. The rising importance of Southampton as a packet port is daily rendered more evident. Our advertising columns every ?reek present advertisements of additional vessels leaving this port for foreign stations, or calling here on their route. The Transit, a fine steam-r, belonging to the Commercial COM-. pail, will leave Southampton for Lisbon, Cadiz, Gibraltar, and Malaga, on Friday next, taking out goods and passengers. The same Company's fine vessels the Calpe and Kent leave London on Sunday and Thursday for Weymouth, amid Wey mouth for London on Mondays arid Thursdays, calling at Southampton and Ryde, and all intermediate places on the coast. LATEST NEWS FROM AMERICA. (From New Yo.k Papers received to the 29th ult.) (From the New York Gazette ) imfORTANT FROM TIIE FRONTIER--We are informed that an i mpnri ::Ant despatch has been forwarded by Major Mason, of Port Gibson, !o General Gaines, the Comm a nd er o f t hi s divi sion. The subst..Nl" of this communication is, that the Che rokees have b u i lt a 1,...:1nci1-house, said to be considerably larger than any hereto 0...' erected by any tribe. They have sent messengers, with thb black and red wampum, to all the tribes from the Red River to the ales and Foxes on the Mississippi—omitting only tha • Kansas and °Ages inviting them t) meet in Council at the.' Cherokee Coun cil-house iu September nest. The tnovemen: is believed to be but an incipient step to further difficulties, an: made with a view of enlisting and uniting all the tribes along the frontier in such measures as may be adopted. They have pro.. ,ceded with great caution at.d secresy in the measure. and h,„: - ft endeavoured to keep all their proceedings from their agents ~"d the officers of the posts. The time proposed for holding the Council is sufficiently late to admit of the erni g ating Cherokee; reaching their country. All the informs tien eicited goes to con.fir,:o the opinion expressed some time ago by General Arbuckle of tike hostile intention of several of tl:e tribes, though it is not believed tlizt _any movement is in tended by them until the opening oi !he s pring. General Games, we arc told, has forwardeJ the despatch of Major Mason to the proper department, with a request that he be permitted to attend the Council with an armed force. This would probably be the most effectual means to awe them into a compliance with their duty, and would effectually prevent the f,rmation of any plans for a general and united rising. It is greatly to be desired that his request should be granted.— Missouri Republican, Aug. 14. __ (From the Morning Herald, Aug. 27.) We arc informed that officers Gilchrist and Thomas M.

They had engaged passage on board the packet ship Star, Captain Glover, for New Or leans, and were at Fort Hamilton, on the look out for the sail ing of the ship. The officers, with a promptitude and energy worthy of al; praise, immediately started in pursuit of them, and found them at that place, at the hotel. The pirates bad locked themselves in their rooms, the doors of which had to be broken open, when, after a desperate resistance on their part, they" were finally secured by the assistance of the proprietor of the !tote:, and brought to the city. Th e F renc h C onsu l t h en sent them on beard the French man.of-war in our harbour, and thearc now os; their way to France, t o p a y t h e f or f e i t o f their bloody deeds. The Consul bad th e i r b aggage opene d T on board the Star. One of the chests contained severa l th ou - s ind dollars in gold, besic:fg cutlasses and fi re - arms , w i t h which they no doubt meditates . an attempt similar to the ono for which they were arrested. he courage displayed by Gilchrist and Lyons in arresting thes‘ -. desperadoes is worthy of high commendation, and redounds n;:lch to their credit. The Consul, we understand, presented them with a large re ward for their exertions. A letter from Texas, of the 16th of July, says :—" The lion. James Collinsworth, Chief Justice of thc. Republic, was found drowned in the bay of Galveston a few days since. The body was much mutilated, and there were marks upon it which led to the belief that he had been murdered. He is said to have had considerable money with him when at Galveston. He was a man of extensive research and of superior talents." By an arrival last night, in six days from Tampico, we learn that the Mexican ports are to be blockaded for six months longer.—New Orleans Picayune, Aug. 17.

MONEY MARKET, Atm. 28. The Share Market has been dull to-day, and it closes with declining prices.

The notes of this institution hare been for some time pot regarded with suspicion, but we bear there ere rather a large ainount of them in circulation. Advices from New Orleans, of Saturday the 18th instant, state that business in every branch continued inactive. The low state of water in the Ohio river had cut off ari communi eatiun for the present with that region of the country, e.nd with the town on the Upper Mississippi there was, also but little intercourse. he receipts of produce, consequently, were Vglit, and though but little demand existed, prices wero generally tending upwards. The Cotton Market continues % - ry inactive, the sales of the week ending the 18th instant not ,'receding over 800 boles, principally of the betty qualities tor the northern manufactories, and without change in prices ; holders" remaining firm.

(From the Herald.) oct is sur;r:singly dull, while the capitalists of our sister city seem full of life and energy, and unless our mer chants bestir themselves in the matte,. of steam-shins to Eng,- I aid they will run great danger of being eclipsed by the supe rior energy of our Philadelphia neighbours. Our merchants seem willing to let Mr. Biddle do all for them. He has come bete, lought a bank, and is going rapidly forward in its or ganiz Lion ; has held a meeting on the subject of steam navigation, and will have a line running from Philadelphia direct to London long before our gaping merchants shall have left off wondering " what the devil he is going to do next. ' They must bestir, and that suddenly, or the energy of the Philadelphians will have conquered the natural disadvantages of their city by the aid of irresistible steam, and become a rival far the European trade, as she now is for that of the gie.it Wrst, through the instrumentality of her vast inland impr(ivcments. Philadelphia, row, through Mr. Biddle, controuls th cotton market, and, by to o new limit, now pro grossii.g, will also rule the domestic exchange ; and unless New Y...rkets are up and doing. Philadelphia will suddenly move a-head, dragging in her train the whole south and .west, as well as the empire Sttte, which will have become bound to her car through the inertness of l!cr stns.
